TEFL Jobs Here, There, and Everywhere! Our Graduates are teaching within 1-2 weeks after graduation, many times sooner! It’s common to have job offers during the course.

TEFL Worldwide is not only dedicated to providing a top quality TEFL course. We will also help you find plenty of TEFL jobs to choose from. We are continuously posting current openings for TEFL jobs, and contacts for language schools worldwide. Because of this, you can expect a variety of jobs from all over the globe.

If you wish to work in the Czech Republic, there is a TEFL Job Workshop at the end of the course. During the TEFL Job Workshop, Prague language schools offer brief presentations about their school. The provide information including details of teaching hours, the syllabus, teaching resources, salary, and other related benefits. This gives you the chance to ask questions in advance, arrange interviews with a few schools, and meet potential employers face-to-face. Positions are available in different parts of the Czech Republic. You can work in the larger cities or some of the smaller towns. There are over 100 language schools in Prague alone and another 200+ outside of Prague so TEFL jobs can also be found outside of Prague. Working outside of Prague is a benefit as you can engage yourself in the culture more and learn the language much faster, if you are interested.

In addition to the TEFL course and TEFL job guidance, we provide housing assistance for those planning on staying in Prague. We can put you in touch with numerous real estate agents and point you in the right direction on where to find available housing. This includes website links for housing and Prague Facebook groups. We also post current offers for apartments and rooms for rent.

With a full time schedule, you can expect to make about 19,000kc/month to 21,000kc/month after tax. That will cover your living expenses and give you extra money for entertainment and light travel. Again you’ll have enough time to pick up some extra private teaching hours and boost your earnings to 21,000 Kc +. You can live a comfortable lifestyle on a full-time teaching salary.

The living expenses in Prague are significantly lower than North America and Western Europe. Should you decide to stay here after the course, you can easily find a private room in a furnished and shared apartment for around 7500 Kc to 10500 Kc/month. The majority of teachers in Prague choose to share an apartment while teaching in order to cut back on their living expenses. Should you choose to rent a private studio or one bedroom flat you can find something for around 9,000 Kc to 15,000 Kc, depending on your preferences, location, size, furnishings, etc.

Prague is an excellent city to take your TEFL course and to begin your TEFL jobs search.

TEFL is more focused on teaching in a non-native English speaking country, although we have had graduates go on to teach in the US, UK, and Australia. Please note that our job guidance is more focused on teaching in non-native English speaking countries but we’ll do our best to help you find a job in a native English speaking country if you are interested. There are less job offers for these countries. In the UK many language schools prefer to hire teachers who meet the qualifications set by the British Council.

Upon enrollment to the program, we immediately start looking for jobs for you.

We provide CV and Cover Letter Assistance.
